Experts from Check Point, a data security company, have warned of a vulnerability in modem chips developed by Qualcomm that may affect the privacy of Android phones around the world. According to the available information, the vulnerability, which has the code CVE-2020-11292, discovered modem chips developed by Qualcomm for Android phone processors. And the dangerous matter, according to statistics, is that this vulnerability may affect more than a billion Android devices around the world, from categories ranging from old 2G to modern 5G devices.
According to the Check Point report, this vulnerability can be exploited to access smartphones, read text messages on them, listen to phone calls, and even unlock the phone’s SIM card.
For its part, Qualcomm indicated that it had issued a fix for the aforementioned loophole, but the arrival of the fix to users may take some time until phone manufacturers release it to them through driver updates.
